Damages & Issues
Please check your order upon delivery and let us know straight away if:
• the item is damaged,
• faulty,
• or incorrect.
We’ll assess the issue and arrange a repair or replacement as quickly as possible.
Natural Timber Movement
Solid wood is a living material — it can naturally develop:
• small cracks,
• splits,
• or slight movement as it adjusts to your home.
This is normal and not considered a fault. Temperature and heating can speed up drying, so keeping your room at a stable humidity helps protect the timber.
These characteristics are part of the charm and authenticity of real wood furniture.
